I want to make a blog about this for the average person who doesn't get migraine headaches!
Everybody has experienced a headache before but not everybody has experienced a MIGRAINE HEADACHE. When I tell you headaches are a walk through the park please believe me..
Let me tell you about my migraine heads. These MOFO will put you out off commission for at least 5hrs. I know some people can tell when they are about to get one. My tell tell signs for getting one is my vision starts to get HELLA BLURRY..sometimes one of my eyes will go out..as a kid I use to get theses every other week..when I was really little I use to cry because I knew they were coming and I couldn't stop them..yeah we got meds but it never really helped the situation. Now let me tell you what causes migraine headaches.........
I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE!!!!!!!!!
It can be lots of things:
Allergies and allergic reactions
Bright lights, loud noises, and certain odors or perfumes
Physical or emotional stress
Changes in sleep patterns or irregular sleep
Smoking or exposure to smoke
Skipping meals or fasting
Alcohol
Tension headaches
Foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans), monosodium glutamate (MSG), or nitrates (like bacon, hot dogs, and salami)
Other foods such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, banana, citrus, onions, dairy products, and fermented or pickled foods.
Being too hot
Dehydration
That list, is insane...I can never avoid it! But I am happy that the older I got the less these episodes happen...
Now let me tell you what happens during a migraine headache. For five whole hours it starts off with your eye sight going in and out. your head does not actually hurt yet, that comes later. After my tell tell sign the next stages is preparation for what's about to happen. So in my room I make sure to turn ALL LIGHTS AND SOUNDS OFF and NO STRONG SMELLS.. During a migraine headache it's like all of your senses become super strong. TV on low is not enough it needs to be OFF..little lights such as cellphones need to be away...and smells...anything that has a strong smell will make you want to throw up...this is why I lock my self in a room. All you want to do is sleep so you try. During sleep you have to get up out your bed and go throw up every 20 mins..while you're sleeping its like your stomach keeps refilling..after you get up to go to the bathroom your head is THROBBING..I think you can see it too..because the Vessel in you head gets bigger and it has to release chemicals because it swells up..
so you throw up for about 5 mins and you go back to bed and your head is still BOOMING!!!! And you repeat this about 6 or 7 times..it's really a pain because if you didn't have to throw up you could stay sleep and that's what messes everything up!!
While in the bed you can literally FEEL the blood rushing in you head and its painful the slightest move feels like Bruce lee is kicking the inside of your head. Your fingers become numb and you can't feel anything. All you can do is try to go back to sleep...weird Thing...I always have a song stuck in my head when I'm sick does this happen to anybody else?!? Lol
At around the 4hr everything starts to go away and your stomach becomes regular no more having to throw up.. But now you have a regular headache
If I could compare the pain, the closet thing but not really close is having a serious hangover with the headache and throwing up..
So that's what a migraine headache is!!
For the people who know how it feels I feel your pain...I swear we even hate hearing the word migraine it's like it sets it off or something lol..
For the people who have a bf/gf with migraines they will either need you to leave them alone or be really quite with no strong odors!!
I had one today and I'm still sitting in a dark room as of this blog lol..... It's 10:42pm
